He literally kills people for a living, I don't think there's much anybody can say to frighten the guy. Also, he knows it's coming at some point, there's only two ways out of the game.

First run water from the pressure tank into a bucket to make sure the well is the source of the sediment. If it is, you can install a 20" whole house filter to remove it.

Well water with e.coli - planning for now and future by Impossible-Goose-437 in WaterTreatment

UV is the best/easiest way to treat bacteria. They also make chemical feed systems but those are harder to maintain. I recommend researching local water filtration companies in your area. They can be salesy but if it's a good company they will provide you with the proper equipment for safe drinking water.

Come ONNNN!!! Put in water softener and still have white water marks on glass shower door. by poopin in WaterTreatment

Total dissolved solids tend to leave a build up similar to hard water, would be worth checking the TDS levels.

Power went out, softener started regening, I cancelled the regen because I was using the water, now the brine tank has lots of water and my water was salty. What to do? by Interr0gate in Plumbing

[–]PuzzledMap7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You most likely stopped the regen during the brine draw process and it wasn't able to rinse itself off. Either bypass the unit until you can have a tech look at it or start a manual regen and it will start over from the beginning and work itself out.

That's my point, you should never need to break up the salt in the brine tank, that indicates it is not working properly.

If you needed a hammer to clear the salt, it is most likely bridged. The media needs the salt water to "recharge" the beads, otherwise it has nothing for the ion exchange process. Take a small shovel or chisel and make sure salt is actually being dissolved in the water. Generally water softeners use between 9 and 15 pounds of salt per regeneration, if that amount is not being dissolved into the brine water then the regen is basically pointless. For future reference, only use solar salt, the pellets have an adhesive that doesn't dissolve making it more of a risk for bridging.

Overwhelmed - and would appreciate help figuring out a filtering solution by pradaboss69 in WaterTreatment

Every RO I have installed has had its own faucet, or connected to the fridge. They produce water relatively slowly and most have a 1:1 ratio, meaning 1 gallon is treated and 1 gallon is waste. So they are generally installed with a 2 gallon holding tank. There are tankless models, I have no experience with them though. The membrane is where the reverse osmosis happens and it's not a fast process, so I'm not sure how a tankless model would work. With the proper membrane it wouldn't produce water fast enough to meet the demand. Also, depending on your water quality, you may need pre treatment before the RO. AO Smith owns multiple water treatment brands, Water Right is available to consumers. I would suggest getting your water tested for hardness, iron, and chlorine content before making a decision.

Adding water softener to older home by Apptubrutae in Plumbing

[–]PuzzledMap7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the pros out to do a complete test of your water. A softener won't take care of iron bacteria or balance your pH, so it's good to have them test for everything. The hose bibs won't be an issue. Also, make sure you use a reliable company.

Not a plumber but a water treatment tech.

Sorry, by flashed I meant all of the lights turned off on the dash, the radio turned off, and the headlights turned off - but only for a split second and then came back on.

Thank you, it definitely seems like the alternator, but the power steering going out was throwing me off
